Why do good non believers go to hell? If your a good person why should you be subjected to torment when you never really did anything wrong. What If you were the nicest most helpful person in the world would you still go to hell? Idk I don't think it's fair to be honest. Sure they messed up but maybe they were brought up differently or something you know.

"God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (1Samuel 16:7).
Because they're sinners like the rest of us.
Finite sinful mortals cannot really comprehend God's ways and God's standards. What we can be sure about is that every human being has at least one opportunity to turn to the true and living God, regardless of their background. Please note what is stated in Jn 1:3-10: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not... That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
I direct your attention to verse 9, which is God's Truth, not man's fiction. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. In plain English it means that Jesus provides an opportunity to EVERY MAN to come to the Light. We may not fully understand the how and when of this, but God will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Hey Josh, do you reckon that any person actually does know? Who and why?
I would agree that Jesus should know, because He is the one who sorts the sheep from the goats. I don't agree that He is dead. Do you know the criteria by which He will do the sorting?Prolly not maybe Jesus but he is dead so no one else I guess... What do I do do I just take something and hope it right idk??
Many of the groups that insist on all non-Christian going to hell make an exception for infants. Calvinism is one example of this.I don't know if EVERY single person has an opportunity to be saved. An example being a baby or child passing away before they could even think. Or those born in isolation or third world country's. There are more but you understand. I'd like to hope they don't go to he'll although I ain't god nor a Christian as of yet.
Yeah but they don't deserve to be punished for it. Some are actually much much better than some Christians yet they go to hell and the others don't?
Exactly. I often see arguments from those who reject Hell on some level based upon this absurd notion of "not deserving" and this notion accuses God of being unfair and not being able to send people to Hell and be justified in doing so. The problem with this argument is that those who promote it tend to be unable to defend anyone deserving to be in heaven and forces God to allow undeserving people admittance there. Heaven is essentially God's party and rejecting an invitation doesn't get you in. The invitation REQUIRES faith to accept it and after one dies I believe all will know for sure who God is and once that happens one cannot have "faith" truly in God then because one no longer "needs" faith when facts are there instead. I guess you could say it is like giving someone a test and asking them if they would rather swap scores with Jesus and then people who fail the test see the answers to the questions and want to go back and copy the right ones or say.... wait, I want Jesus' score after they see he got 100%.Actually, they do. You seem to be under the impression that because somebody does something good, that negates all the bad they've done. That's not how it works. Christians and non-Christians are all sinners. So saying a non-Christian should be a free pass to sin because he's "better than Christians" is like saying you're the tallest midget in the circus.
Whether you think people who break God's laws should be punished or not is irrelevant. God will punish those who break His laws.
What's heaven and what's hell?Why do good non believers go to hell? If your a good person why should you be subjected to torment when you never really did anything wrong. What If you were the nicest most helpful person in the world would you still go to hell? Idk I don't think it's fair to be honest. Sure they messed up but maybe they were brought up differently or something you know.
You know, Dr.J0sh, you're trying to assess the answers you're getting from a position of ignorance. How do you know which response is faithfully representing the Christian religion to you and which is not? It seems you're either going to have to throw up your hands in frustration and assume that the lack of consensus among Christians in this thread means there is no one right answer about this aspect of their beliefs, and/or just pick a point of view from those that have been offered to you that most appeals to you. I would urge you, though, not to do either of these things but to get a Bible of your own and start reading it. Find out what the source document of the Christian religion has to say in answer to your question. That's the simplest, most direct route to the right answer.
Selah.
Clearly not, as the numerous different Christians posting on this thread have sometimes wildly different views on Hell/Heaven and the requirements to go to such places.
And guess what? They all use the Bible as their source.
There is a good reason why there is thousands of denominations of Christianity.
Yeah but they don't deserve to be punished for it. Some are actually much much better than some Christians yet they go to hell and the others don't?
Let's say this again: morality and works do not equate to salvation. Faith in Christ and Grace are the reasons for salvation.
Also, yeah, they do deserve to be punished for sin, just as we all do. Salvation isn't about justice, it's about mercy.
So a mass murdering child molesting rapist can go to heaven if he repents and truly has faith in Christ?
But the tribesman living in remote rainforest who has never heard of Christ burns in hell?
Yep. We don't discriminate.
